Damian Barrett and Michael Whiting bring you the latest footy news on AFL Daily.

Patrick Dangerfield is free to play for the Cats on Saturday night against the Bombers after having his tribunal hearing overturned last night. Danger's teammate Tom Hawkins will miss the next 6-8 weeks after his foot injury sustained on Friday night.

Will Ashcroft wants to have an impact straight away when he takes to the field against the Demons, and Damo explains why Port Adelaide should consider giving Nathan Buckley a call when they choose their next coach away from Ken Hinkley when that time comes.
